How to Fax a Medical Records from iPad mini: Step-by-Step

1. 1

   Download TigerFax

   Install TigerFax from the App Store on your iPad mini. It's free to start — no credit card required.

   Scan your Medical Records with iPad mini

   Open TigerFax and tap the camera icon. Position your iPad mini about 12 inches above the Medical Records and let the auto-capture detect the edges. The iPad mini's 12MP rear camera is the same quality as the iPhone 13's. Hold it steady about 10 inches above the document for the best scan quality.
